Pool Drink

1 1⁄2 oz Rye
1 oz Pineapple juice
3 oz Ginger beer (Reed's Extra)
1 ds Bitters, Angostura (as garnish)
Instructions

Shake the rye and pineapple juice. Dump into a Collins glass, top with ginger beer, stir a bit, dash bitters on foam.

Notes

So I'm surprised this isn't a thing already. Rye + ginger beer is a thing, as is rye + pineapple. But I was in a pool at a hotel and the frozen Mai Tais were looking real sketchy. I had the bartender throw this together and unsurprisingly, it was delicious.

Industry Flip (Fred Yarm)

3⁄4 oz Fernet Branca
3⁄4 oz Herbal liqueur, Green Chartreuse
3⁄4 oz Campari
3⁄4 oz Simple syrup
1 Whole egg
1 pn Nutmeg (Freshly grated as garnish)
Instructions

Shake once without ice and once with ice, strain into a single old fashioned glass or a cocktail coupe, and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Notes

I also made a lighter variation using Cynar instead of Fernet that worked well too. See source reference link for more information on that. Also, I was unaware of Kindred Cocktails' Applejack's creation of the same name but took things in an absinthe instead of Campari direction.

History

Every once in a while when I have bar guests at Drink who want weird cocktails, I opt for Ted Kilgore's Industry Sour which is essentially a Fernet-Chartreuse "Daiquiri." Also in that vein is the Campari-Chartreuse Love & Murder, and I wondered if I could mash up these three elements into a Flip (also the Ferrari of Fernet-Campari connects the trilogy). Paying tribute to the inspiration, I dubbed it the Industry Flip.
